so a useful event for the obama campaign. and again, a way to bank votes early, particularly among students who they want to be free on election day to volunteer and help get out the vote. >> you know, it's kind of interesting though, jamie. people are starting to vote before we've even had our first debate in this election between the two candidates head-to-head. so you got to wonder if some people would rather have waited until maybe thursday to send in their votes. these must be people who have known for a long time and that's it. >> well, yeah. you raise a good point. this is a calculus that the obama campaign seems to be depending on, is that they can mitigate some of the risk of a bad debate, perhaps, by banking these votes early to make sure that they can build it up. and they point to a statistic, alex, that in 2008 obama lost the election on election day here in iowa. but won overall in iowa because of votes that the campaign had banked prior to the election day on early voting. >> jamie, thank you. >>> in a moment,

>> i think mitt romney has it right in the sense that obama care is unpopular. pieces of it might be popular, but mitt romney's been campaigning that he would repeal obama care and replace it with pieces that are popular, but this whole idea about social issues i think is so fascinating and underreported that really it's the obama campaign and the democratic party that has tried to make this a social issues election. even turning questions of taxation into a question of fairness, not one of fiscal responsibility or sobriety because at the president himself said, you don't raise taxes in a recession, and we're still certainly struggling along in this economy. so taxation has been turned into a social issue. we saw in the mid-term election that 31% of gay men and women actually voted for the gop so. what did you see at the democratic convention? gay marriage being touted. finally, on women's issues. if you were to listen to the democratic party, apparently there's some deficit, some sortage sort a -- shortage of condoms, but women care most about the economy. demo

and obama is not. with dr. jill stein, previously, she commented that the bankers were the cause for the need for the bailout. i disagree. i don't think there was any need for the bailout. i voted against the bailout, because in my view, that helped a few large firms, some of which weren't even fdic-insured. but the government forced smaller community banks to make loans to persons that really couldn't pay them back. they were encouraged to do that. they will -- they will accuse a financial institution of red lining if they're not making enough in the low income neighborhoods and if you're not making enough to persons without assets, they're saying you're being discriminatory. make more loans. and they're caught in a vice. if they could make loans just based on business decisions and whether a person could repay the money, i don't think we ever had the melt down. but i think she was right that wall street packaged the loans and they knew that a lot of these people couldn't pay them back, yet they sold them to p
